Report Card Update
Some highlights about PreK-5 schools are below.
I. Trimester Reporting Periods
- Trimester 1: September 9 - December 10
- Trimester 2: December 13 - March 18
- Trimester 3: March 21 - June 20
II. Standards-Based Report Cards
- K-5 report cards are aligned to trimester reporting periods and provide feedback on student achievement toward learning standards.
- The first two report card distributions will be coupled with parent conferences and standardized testing data.
- The final trimester report card will be administered after the academic year and include a narrative on student growth, development, and learning.
III. Parent Conferencing
- Parent Conferences will occur twice during the academic year and align with the first two trimester reporting periods. These conferences will provide more dialogue and transparency related to student growth and development toward learning standards, iReady diagnostic testing, and teacher-developed assessments.
- Parents will need to complete the COVID Health Screener form in order to attend in-person conferences. You may click the link to download a copy and bring it with you or we will have copies for you as you arrive. If you are completing the form upon arrival, please arrive a few minutes before your scheduled conference time. COVID Health Screener Form.
